managerjuergen klopp looked far from impressed. then just before half—timejago had a go from distance, the goalkeeper was beaten but post stood firm. it felt like just the matter of time and win a goal to come henderson claimed it but it was in on goal. two minutes later, it was money having better luck with his toe then his head. in the end, it was a dominant performance. although it's only half—time. still the long and winding road to the final looks clear. there was one game in the championship tonight, where middlesbrough beat cardiff city 2—0 to keep their play—off hopes alive. goals in each half from marcus tavernier and riley mcgree saw chris wilder's side take all three points at the riverside stadium. that moves middlesbrough up to seventh in the table, two points adrift of the play—off places with two games to go. 2019 championjudd trump will face three—time winner mark williams for a place in the world snooker championship

final. that's after trump won the last eight frames of his quarter—final against stuart bingham having been 8—5 down in the early session. 47 year old williams is through after he overcame china's yan bingtao 13 farmes to ii. ronnie o'sullivan also looked his place in the semi—finals. he finished with a break of 126 to beat scotland's stephen maguire13—5. if o'sullivan wins the title it'll be his seventh, which will take him level with stephen hendry as the most successful player in the tournament's history. we all aspire to be like stephen. he set the benchmark for everyone, davis did but he took it to another level, were alljust trying to be... stephen is the all—time legend for me, greatest player. he was the tiger woods of smoker. it's a different level. it's an honour_ it's a different level. it's an honour for me.

worcester warriors will face london irish in the premiership rugby cup final after a 39—25 victory over gloucester at kingsholm. after a tightly contested first half, a strong worcester side ran away with the game in the second half, gareth simpson scoring two of the warriors' six tries to send them into the final, which takes place next month. we are nowjust days away from a real moment of history. on saturday night, ireland's katie taylor will go toe to toe with the puerto rican amanda serrano at madison square garden in new york. is the biggest fight in women's boxing history. welcome to madison square garden. public workouts are taken place in the main arena because it prepared for an ice hockey. the work—out is happening in the lobby you can see some of the undercard fighters going through their paces. ahead of what is a huge night and boxing. for the first time in over hundred

and said she's incredibly grateful to be given the responsibility to work with some young and exciting bowlers. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much for that. a significant day for many families who lost loved ones in care homes during the pandemic. the high court in london has ruled that government policies of discharging patients from us close to care homes at the start of the pandemic were unlawful. the ruling was made after two women took legal action against public health england and the health secretary at the time. they said covid patients were discharged from hospitals to care homes ——

without testing causing what was called a �*shocking death toll�*. in the first wave of the pandemic almost 20,000 care home residents had died with coronavirus —— by mid—june —— in england and wales. that's more than a third of all people who who died with covid during that period. the uk government said it �*worked tirelessly�* to protect the public. our social affairs editor alison holt has the story. two women determined to hold the government to account for what they believed was a failure to protect their fathers. today the court said the policies were unlawful. this woman was shocked that hospital patients were discharged without guidance. i hope it will make a difference it by ensuring this can never happen again. also the people responsible really understand that they are being held to account, that the

decisions they made were wrong. they not only put peoples lives at risk but almost certainly cost lives. fay harris, whose father died from covid sees the case as the last thing she was able to do for him. we left him there healthy, fit, happy. the last photograph i have of him in his chair smiling and he just disappeared. and no one is answerable. and someone has to answer the questions how could it be allowed to happen? this was a complicated case, examining a number of laws and policies. but the judgment was very clear about the decision to discharge hospital patients into care homes at the start of the pandemic. it concludes, it was unlawful and irrational. the judgment says there was growing awareness that people could spread the virus without showing symptoms.

it also said there was no evidence that ministers including the then health secretary matt hancock considered the risk to care homes. matt hancock�*s claim that the government threw a protective ring around care homes was nothing more than a despicable lie of which he ought to be ashamed. the judgment sets out what was known about the virus at the start of the pandemic as well as early discussions by government advisors in 2020 the health minister told parliament that large numbers of people are infectious but asymptomatic and on 13th, the chief scientist said some degree of asymptomatic transmission was likely. a few days later official guidance was dispensed to care homes.

right from the start we have tried to throw a protective ring around our care homes. today matt hancock said that the now abolished public health england failed to tell him about asymptomatic transmission and the prime minister also faced questions. will the prime minister apologise to the families of the thousands and thousands of people who died in care homes in the first half of the 2020 and to care workers for the shameful comments he made in 2020 when he said too many care homes didn't follow procedures. the thing we didn't know. in particular was that covid could be transmitted _ asymptomatically in the way it was. that is something i wished| we had known more about. the government says every death is a tragedy. emerging from the high court, two women who argued the government failed to protect their fathers at the start of the pandemic.

welcome back. we had a little bit of a problem with some of the sound issues but hopefully it�*s all resolved. thank you both for your patience. we have a look at the metro and their lead story was a story that broke today and that was the mp who was allegedly caught viewing pornography on his mobile phone. will turn to the next paper on our list and that�*s daily mirror. same story, different headline for the tories pawn shame in the comments. here we go. peter, can you hear me? ., ., . ., , , comments. here we go. peter, can you hear me?— your i hear me? loud and clear, yes. your thou~hts hear me? loud and clear, yes. your thoughts on — hear me? loud and clear, yes. your thoughts on this _ hear me? loud and clear, yes. your thoughts on this before _ hear me? loud and clear, yes. your thoughts on this before we - hear me? loud and clear, yes. your thoughts on this before we move i hear me? loud and clear, yes. your thoughts on this before we move on to our next paper. i thoughts on this before we move on to our next paper.— to our next paper. i think it is one of those stories _ to our next paper. i think it is one of those stories that _ to our next paper. i think it is one of those stories that can - to our next paper. i think it is one of those stories that can cut - of those stories that can cut through in a way perhaps of those more difficult papers of the

pandemic in the care homes and the price of gas in the war in ukraine, this is a story i think lands with people because it�*s so extraordinary. there is no other workplace in the world where it�*s ok to watch pornography. i don�*t think it�*s ok in the house of commons. these female mps are given this account of two to the whips. not just this particular instance, this one mp who is apparently seen using pawn or watching pawn both in the committee and in parliament. but actually this 23 group of female mps saying that there are lots of other areas they are pretty fed up with the way they get treated, people jockeying to notjoking about their love life, making them feel uncomfortable. ——joking. it�*s not the state of the tory and the house of commons at a time when the prime minister is already under the crush of party gate. they were partying while we will lock down, etc. i

european economies absolutely depend on 40% of europe�*s gas comes piped via russia. if they don�*t get the supplies that has huge knock on effects to the economy, european industry, i think there�*s going to be a real imperative to find a way to make this work. poland will find and already has contingencies or other supplies this is a real warning shot. this talk of paying gas prom which is a monopoly of paying your comment be converted into the roubles by gas from bank. but either way whether it�*s a technical or political solution this needs to be worked out because liz truss is saying this could go on for five or ten years. as i could be over by christmas. and this is going to have a deep—seated impact on world energy markets. you�*re seeing now with the rising price or price of domestic gas bills in europe and

in the uk. you�*re how destabilising it is for industry and politics. aha, it is for industry and politics. a lot of people say what happened to germany was back there dependency is 55% dependency. i don�*t know if you can hear me. 55% dependency. i don't know if you can hear me— can hear me. that's why germany is bein: so can hear me. that's why germany is being so cautious. _ can hear me. that's why germany is being so cautious. what _ can hear me. that's why germany is being so cautious. what europe - can hear me. that's why germany is being so cautious. what europe is i can hear me. that's why germany is| being so cautious. what europe is in the process of developing new rounds of sanctions on oriole and petrochemicals and gas. it can be around six and seven of the sanctions. but ultimately, if this is going to be a five, ten year were two more than europe�*s good need a plan to build itself more energy security to wean itself off russian gas that is a long term hit to the russian economy which requires the sale of gas products which are piped into europe. yes he could sell elsewhere but has a lot of pipe infrastructure into europe. one of the difficulties of this conflict if

it�*s going to go on for five or ten years, what�*s the state of play with roger, were russia�*s face down but we end up with a modus of living with each other after the fact? because we are all sharing the same continent and we have to get to the space at the end of this where we can all create a secure environment where we can live together.- where we can live together. james, take us to the _ where we can live together. james, take us to the front _ where we can live together. james, take us to the front page _ where we can live together. james, take us to the front page of - where we can live together. james, take us to the front page of the - take us to the front page of the daily telegraph. it�*s the threat from rishi sunak, tough words but does he explain how this is going to work? what sort of expected reaction can we get from energy firms? obviously richie sunak is talking about— obviously richie sunak is talking about this levy he speaking about what he _ about this levy he speaking about what he wants to do, he wants to put this tevy _ what he wants to do, he wants to put this levy on _ what he wants to do, he wants to put this levy on energy firms and basically— this levy on energy firms and basically help the economy. right now where going through a really tough _

mistake that was made in the early days of the pandemic, before we head testing infrastructure was eight number of infected people who weren�*t obviously symptomatic, most old people who were sent out of possibles and back into care homes in order to create space, if you remember, orwhat in order to create space, if you remember, or what we feared was going to be a massive wave of covid that was going to over come our icu units. these older people were pushed back into care homes. it�*s estimated that maybe 20,000 old people died in care homes. of course care homes were not equipped to deal with the covid situation. many of the patients were sent back, actually some picked up covid in hospitals in mixed wards were sent back into the care home sector and with devastating consequences. in this court case the judge said essentially the department of health had behaved irrationally and not taking into consideration sufficiently the risks that were

being posed to those patients and the other patients in the care home sector. matt hancock says he wasn�*t fully advised of the situation. i think the public probably do understand that it was a period of massive upheaval and uncertainty. and to some extent i think will factor in, will forgive what was an absolute disaster. i don�*t think anyone�*s disputing that. because it was so much uncertainty. you remember when we were ramping up, trying to build ventilators at speed. this court case refers to that. . ., , speed. this court case refers to that. . , , . speed. this court case refers to that.. ,,. _ that. . peter foster, public policy editor at the _ that. . peter foster, public policy editor at the financial _ that. . peter foster, public policy editor at the financial times, - that. . peter foster, public policy editor at the financial times, the j editor at the financial times, the gremlins have ruined things for us somewhere. thank you indeed and thanks for your patience. very good evening to you. that is it from the team here at bbc news. more coming up team here at bbc news. more coming

up tomorrow from myself and the team, sherry l. hello again. many parts of scotland, northern ireland, western england and wales had some decent spells of sunshine, but across central and eastern england, we had some of this cloud yesterday. this is called stratocumulus. now, through the afternoon in hastings, that cloud began to break up. and because it�*s a thin cloud, it�*s only 200—300 metres thick, above that, you�*ve got clear blue sunny skies. and once it starts to go, it can go very, very quickly, so it was a lovely end to the day here. now, i�*m telling you about that because that�*s what this type of cloud is running in off the north sea, affecting parts of eastern england and the midlands at the moment. now, that is going to be prone to thinning and breaking up a bit more, i think, as we go through thursday. but with clearer skies out towards the west, it�*s cold at the moment. we�*ve got some frost to watch out for heading into the first part of the morning. now, across southern england, a better chance

of seeing some sunshine. should have some sunshine as well across much of the northwest of the uk. and i suspect this cloud will tend to get eroded, so the areas that are most likely to keep it into the afternoon, well, probably east midlands, lincolnshire, norfolk and suffolk. but otherwise, i think most of you will see some sunshine. dry for many, an odd shower for northern scotland, an odd shower in southwest england, but in the best of the sunshine, we�*re looking at highs up to 16 degrees. it�*s a similar kind of day, really, on friday. again, we start off with some of that patchy cloud coming in off the north sea, but many of us, it�*s a dry day, again with some spells of sunshine and starting to turn just a little bit warmer as well — 17 the top temperature in cardiff and glasgow as well. after this lengthy spell of dry weather caused by this high pressure, we�*re actually going to see some changes into the weekend. it starts to weaken, to allow this weather front to move in from the north and west. so saturday, although england and wales is looking at another fine day with some further spells of sunshine, much thicker cloud than we�*ve seen all week will be heading into scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain especially

through the afternoon, the rain turning heavier and steadier for a time. temperatures, though, out of the rain still around 15 or 16 celsius, which will feel pleasant given the light winds. through saturday night and into sunday, the rain moves southwards across england and wales. but as it does so, it will weaken, so it will turn lighter and patchier. temperatures on sunday should reach a high of around 1a or 15 celsius, with the best of the drier and brighter weather in scotland and northern ireland.
